  • ICE CREAM PARTY (recommended for all ages)
    You bring the cake; we’ve got the ice cream covered! Using liquid nitrogen and sweet cream, we will create homemade ice cream right before your eyes!

    DINOSAUR PARTY (recommended for ages 8 and older)
    A blast from the past! Partygoers can explore real fossils in the party room (including some actual dinosaur teeth)! Following the demonstration, each guest gets to make their own fossil shaped like a dinosaur head of their choosing to take home. For younger kids, the fossil exploration can be replaced with some dinosaur matching and sorting games.

    RAINBOW ART PARTY (recommended for guests under 10)
    Have a colorful birthday celebration as guests learn simple painting exercises themed around learning about different colors and how they can be combined to create an entire rainbow! This party is perfect for a budding artist!

    SLIME CELEBRATION (recommended for ages 6 and older)
    Things may get a little messy in our Slime Birthday Party as you learn about the science of polymers! In this hands-on workshop, you will get to “choose your ooze” and make your very own type of slime to take home! Will you make some beautiful cosmic slime, some fluffy cloud slime, or something of your own experimentation? The possibilities are endless when we are making polymers!
